Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 23 It’s all their fault!
After all, he had to go to work tomorrow. After taking a shower, Gu Ran lay down on the bathroom floor and played with his mobile phone - playing with his mobile phone was also considered sleep time.

On the girls' side, Su Qing finished her bath and played mahjong with Jiang Qi, Tong Ling and Chen Ke instead of Zhuang Jing who was going to bed.

"Is Xiaoqing sleeping? Ninety thousand." Chen Ke asked.

"I played Frisbee for a while and fell asleep." Su Qing touched the cards.

"Wait, touch." Tong Ling shouted, and Su Qing put the cards back.

"Two barrels." Tong Ling said.

Chen Ke touched the card and hesitated for a while: "Twenty thousand."

Su Qing stretched out her hand to touch the card and Tong Ling shouted: "Nonsense, thank you."

"Ake, are you sleepy?" Jiang Qi teased.

"I'm still playing ten thousand cards in this situation. I'm not playing seriously." Su Qing also joked, but her tone was more serious. The two failed card draws made her feel a little revengeful.

At the end of the round, they began to shuffle the cards, and Chen Ke's movements were obviously a beat slower.

When stacking cards, she doesn't have the flexibility of a young girl, and when grabbing cards, she lacks the coordination between playing partners.

"Are you really sleepy?" Jiang Qi couldn't help but ask.

Tong Ling said: "Go to bed if you feel sleepy. We have to go to work tomorrow."

Su Qing looked at Chen Ke and told her that she didn't have to be embarrassed to leave the table just because she was a newcomer.

Chen Ke looked hesitant.

All three people stopped grabbing cards.

"It doesn't look like she's sleepy," Tong Ling looked at Chen Ke's face and observed her body language, "Is something wrong?"

"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded.

"Let me guess." Jiang Qi became interested, "Did Gu Ran secretly harass you in private? Do you think something will happen sooner or later if you and I are in the same office for at least five years? Since it will happen sooner or later, why not happen it now? "

"What!" Chen Ke laughed.

Su Qing rested her right elbow on the card table - which was a real card table - and placed her index finger horizontally on her lower lip. She kept looking at Chen Ke.

When Chen Ke laughed, she said: "It doesn't seem to be very serious, or do you mean you don't care much?"

"Don't treat me as a patient!" Chen Ke laughed.

"What's the matter? Let's talk." Jiang Qi continued playing mahjong, "Two."

"It's like this, I can't help it; uh, I'm right...; uh, actually I"

After three times of hesitation, Tong Ling, who was about to play her cards, stopped and looked at Chen Ke seriously.

None of the three urged her. Finally, Chen Ke plucked up the courage and said, "I can't have close contact with men. I feel disgusting, but I feel in love and my orientation is normal."

None of them showed any surprise.

They have seen many kinds of mental illness and psychological disorders.

"With your boyfriend too?" Tong Ling asked.

"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded.

"Worried about STDs?" Tong Ling asked again.

Chen Ke shook his head.

"Afraid of injections? Afraid of pain?" Jiang Qi said.

Chen Ke smiled bitterly, with a 'stop making trouble' expression on his face.

Su Qing analyzed: "Some people enjoy kissing, but the essence of kissing is just the exchange of saliva. Eating other people's saliva is of course the most disgusting thing. You will subconsciously refuse. You may have some psychological barriers."

"There is another possibility."

Everyone turned around and said Zhuang Jing was going to bed, but he didn't know when he came.

"Teacher Zhuang Jing!" Chen Ke stood up, extremely shy.

"With Teacher Zhuang Jing here, just wait and enjoy your sexual life!" Jiang Qi continued as always.

Su Qing also stood up: "Mom, sit down."

"Sit down." Zhuang Jing motioned for her daughter to sit down.

Then, she raised her hand and motioned to everyone about the water glass in her hand: "I wanted to drink some water and remind you not to play too late, and then go to bed, but I didn't expect to eavesdrop on Chen Ke's secret."

"No." Chen Ke said hurriedly, "Actually, I most want to consult you, but I am afraid of troublesome teacher, so I am embarrassed to speak."

Zhuang Jing smiled slightly: "I understand your concerns, but next time you have any mental or psychological problems, you must come to me as soon as possible.

“There is a prejudice in the outside world that doctors who stay with mental patients for a long time will also develop mental illness.

“Mental illness is not contagious, but the stress caused by mental illness can make doctors and nurses sick.

"Remember, you must maintain an optimistic and happy attitude at all times. Don't frown and think that life is not worth living just because you have seen too many joys and sorrows."

Su Qing said: "Mom, you can either help Chen Ke or go to sleep. Stop talking nonsense."

Zhuang Jing gave her a slightly charming look.

She turned her gaze to Chen Ke and said: "Xiao Ke, there is another possibility that you refuse to have close contact - you don't want others to interfere in your life. Think carefully about whether there is anyone in your life who has been strongly interfered with, and Something that lasts a long time.”

Chen Ke was thoughtful, and then said slowly as if talking to himself:
"There seems to be no strong resistance, but there has been constant resistance. Ever since I decided to become a psychotherapist, my parents have always disapproved of it. They didn't strongly oppose it, but they would make me give up every time.

"When I got to high school and got to know psychotherapists well enough, I regarded you as my idol and studied hard. Even my parents didn't approve of me wanting to come to Haicheng.

"Including my boyfriend, he didn't have any strong objections, but like my parents, he kept giving opinions."

"Ah, it's so pitiful. It's like I've been urged to get married for more than ten years." Tong Ling looked sympathetic and felt the same way.

"I have treated patients who were pushed into marriage and into depression before, both men and women." Jiang Qi said, "I also wrote a related paper under the guidance of Teacher Zhuang Jing. Teacher Zhuang Jing said that this is a new trend. , can make a lot of money.”

"Is that what I said?" Zhuang Jing asked.

Jiang Qi immediately replied: "What you mean is that urging marriage has become a stage that young people must go through. The psychological issues related to urging marriage are worthy of study. Then you didn't have time, so you admitted a few patients and asked me to study - these In my ears, it became, 'This is the new way to make a lot of money.'"

Su Qing was dissatisfied: "Can you please stop going off topic?"

Everyone looked at Chen Ke again.

Zhuang Jing took a sip of tea and said casually: "Gu Ran comes early every day to learn internal skills, doesn't he? Xiaoke, you will also get up early in the future, come to my office, and I will talk to you."

"No, it's too troublesome for you, teacher!" Chen Ke declined quickly.

"That's it, go to bed early." Zhuang Jing turned around and left.

After she left, Jiang Qi said with a smile: "Congratulations, Chen Ke, for getting the reward of 'waking up half an hour early every day'."

Chen Ke was not amused. She felt a little guilty: "I get up early, and Teacher Zhuang Jing also gets up early. I don't want to trouble her."

"Relax." Su Qing comforted, "My mother has a very strong purpose in doing things. You may not be troublesome to her, but you may be attracted by her and become a new research target - she told me that she After giving birth to me, I also studied the psychological state before and after childbirth.”

Everyone comforted them, and since the matter was a foregone conclusion, Chen Ke no longer struggled.

"Chen Ke, have you told your boyfriend about this?" Tong Ling asked with concern.

"Not yet." Chen Ke shook his head gently, gentle and beautiful, "I plan to find out the cause, whether it can be cured, and if so, how long it will take for it to be cured - after that, I will tell him."

"What if the treatment takes a long time and he wants to break up?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Then let's break up." Chen Ke said in a relaxed tone.

All three felt very strange.

Chen Ke knew what was strange about them, and explained with a smile: "It is impossible for him to come to Haicheng, and he has always disapproved of my coming, and asked me to go back in five years, but now, I have fallen in love with {Jinghai} and don't want to leave."

This was what she had just made up her mind.

"Do you like {Jinghai}, or do you like us?" Jiang Qi smiled narrowly.

"I like the working atmosphere." Chen Ke was embarrassed to say it too bluntly.

"So you like Su Qing and Gu Ran?" Jiang Qi pressed forward step by step.

"Yeah, it's all good." Chen Ke didn't want to deny this, so he admitted it shyly.

Su Qing smiled slightly.

She said: "That's great. I like Chen Ke. If you leave, my mother will definitely recruit someone new. Who knows what kind of person will come."

"Also!" Tong Ling said seriously, "Haicheng's scenery and climate mean that you can wear skirts, shorts, and eat ice cream all year round!"

"Tong Ling is super afraid of the cold." Jiang Qi explained the reason. "Her hometown is in the inland north, but it happens to be outside the heating area. She is almost afraid of winter syndrome."

Chen Ke said: "I also like Haicheng very much. I dream of bringing my parents over to play. If conditions permit, I will buy a house here, settle down, and receive friends and relatives who travel from the interior in winter."

"You have to tell her about this." Jiang Qi put her hands on Su Qing's shoulders, "Are you, Sister Qing, the future director?"

"Then you dare to win my money while playing cards?" Su Qing said.Tong Ling and Chen Ke both laughed.

"I don't want to either, it's because your poker skills are too poor!" Jiang Qi cried out.

Su Qing said: "Be careful if I let the dog bite you."

"Amelia Su? Just rely on it? I opened my hands and held it in my arms, suffocating it with passionate female kisses!"

"I'm talking about Gu Ran."

"Gu Ran? Dog?" After a pause, Jiang Qi used her brain to speak in her own style, "You guys are having so much fun in the office!"

"It has nothing to do with me!" Chen Ke hurriedly clarified.

Tong Ling hesitated to speak and looked at Su Qing. Finally, she asked tentatively: "Did you and Gu Ran have sparks?"

"Gu Ran's relationship with Xiao Qing is better than that with me, what do you think?" Su Qing asked back.

"Which Xiaoqing?" Jiang Qi interjected.

Su Qing really regrets naming her little white dog 'Su Xiaoqing'.

No, this is all Gu Ran's fault. Without him, there would be no problem with the name 'Su Xiaoqing'.

After a while of fighting, everyone reluctantly took an early rest.

Early the next morning, there was a light mist lingering in the mountains, and the street lights were still on. Gu Ran had already gotten up and was running on the resort's track.

The track in the mountains and forests has good scenery and the sound of birds is clear and sweet.

There weren't many people on the track, but they were only in twos and threes, so it wasn't empty.

Gu Ran saw Zhuang Jing.

She was running in front, obviously getting up earlier than him. She was wearing a well-fitting sportswear. From the back, she looked like a young girl in her twenties, with a graceful figure.

Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, then sped up to catch up.

"Teacher Zhuang Jing, good morning." He was half a body behind.

"Xiao Ran." A smile naturally appeared on Zhuang Jing's face, "Su Qing has to walk the dog in the morning and send the dog back. Are you going to go to work in my car?"

If it had been before yesterday, Gu Ran would have agreed without any hesitation.

But the scene in the quiet room yesterday, which he clearly wanted to forget, suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. As time went on, he lost the simple embarrassment and rejection at the beginning, and began to have an urge to take the initiative to pry.

"I'm thinking wildly again!" Zhuang Jing scolded with a smile.

"I didn't." Gu Ran said quickly.

It was not late at night, and his emotions were not out of control.

Zhuang Jing smiled softly and said, "Why would you hesitate without you?"

"I don't want to trouble you."

"How much do you weigh? How much fuel does it cost to carry you? Besides, do you think I care about you?"

"It's not that, it's just what you think: It's not good for you to be so young and go to work with me, a member of the opposite sex, and get out of a car and be seen by nurses, security guards and other staff, patients, and patients' family members."

Zhuang Jing had already spoken a word, but still didn't say it.

She wanted to say - you have such concerns, it proves that your own mind is wrong.

But it’s not easy to say this to juniors.

At this time, Zhuang Jing realized a fact that she didn't want to admit but had to admit - she was also worried.

Alas, it’s all because of He Qingyan’s mischief!
We can only wait for time to eliminate the awkwardness between the two.

Zhuang Jing likes Gu Ran very much. If it hadn't been for this, she would even like him enough to hold Gu Ran's hand and hug him occasionally. But now she can't do anything.

Seeing Zhuang Jing not speaking, Gu Ran thought she was angry and immediately said: "Okay, thank you Aunt Jing!"

Zhuang Jing came back to her senses and smiled: "Okay, let's run seriously."

The two ran together and met Jiang Qi on the second lap.

After she greeted Zhuang Jing, she immediately asked Gu Ran excitedly: "Gu Ran, are you Su Qing's dog?"

"Ah?" Gu Ran was confused.

"What?" Zhuang Jing was also full of doubts.

Jiang Qi then told what happened last night - except for Chen Ke's part - and finally said: "Su Qing said, 'Her relationship with you is not as good as you and Amelia Su'. Please tell me honestly. What's going on? "

"She's right." Gu Ran nodded.

Zhuang Jing glanced at him and smiled.

After running for a while, she said, "Keep running, Gu Ran. Wait for me in the parking lot in half an hour."

"Yeah." Gu Ran responded obediently.

After Zhuang Jing left, Jiang Qi was curious: "What's going on?"

"Teacher Zhuang Jing said he would take me to work by the way."

"Oh, yes, you don't have a car." Jiang Qi reacted without thinking about it at all.

The two ran away for a while and then separated. Zhuang Jing was not here and Jiang Qi had a boyfriend, so it was not appropriate for them to run together.

Zhuang Jing walked back to the hotel and sent a message to Amelia Su before taking a shower.

[Zhuang Jing: Early this morning, Jiang Qi met Gu Ran and asked him if the relationship between him and you was really not as good as that between him and Amelia Su. 】

[Su Qing: What’s wrong?]

[Zhuang Jing: You'd better explain it to him]

[Su Qing: What’s the explanation? 】

[Zhuang Jing: You said that because you were shy. In fact, your relationship with him is better than his relationship with Amelia Su]

[Su Qing: Why? 】

[Zhuang Jing: It’s definitely not because of love, it’s just to maintain the relationship between colleagues, right? 】

This sentence made Amelia Su very uncomfortable.

If Zhuang Jing only said 'because of love', she would only sneer;
If Zhuang Jing only said 'to maintain the relationship between colleagues', she would feel guilty and ask Gu Ran to explain;

But she happened to say 'because of love' and 'to maintain the relationship between colleagues'. In this way, even if she was explaining for the latter, the former meaning would still be included.

The most annoying thing is that Su Qing seems to have no choice but to explain.

'It's all Jiang Qi's fault!What are you talking about? ’ She hated it so much.

Su Qing took out her phone and clicked on WeChat. There was no need to look for it. The chat record with Gu Ran was at the first place. Clicking on it would bring up the conversation interface.

[Su Qing: Are you there? 】

After a long time, Amelia Su had finished bathing Amelia Su, and then Gu Ran replied to the message.

[Gu Ran: I just went for a run and I didn’t bring my phone. What’s wrong? 】

Su Qing quickly picked up her phone to reply, and covered the dog with the cloth she used to clean the dog. Su Xiaoqing had the towel on her head and looked up at her in confusion.

[Su Qing: They were joking last night and asked me if there were any sparks between you and me. I was impatient, so I casually said, 'Your relationship with Amelia Su is better than that with me.']

[Gu Ran: So? 】

[Su Qing: Of course my relationship with you is better]

[Su Qing: This is from your perspective. From my perspective, my relationship with my daughter is better. Can you understand? 】

[Gu Ran: Understand, understand]

When Gu Ran took Zhuang Jing's car and arrived at {Jinghai}, he received another message.

[Su Qing: Please understand, it’s really embarrassing for a girl to admit that she has a good relationship with a boy]

What do you mean?
Which girl?Who is a boy?

When putting away the phone, Gu Ran couldn't help but smile.

"Private Diary": August [-], Wednesday, sunny.

It was a bizarre morning when I woke up in the resort and took Aunt Jing's car to work.

Amelia Su won’t like me, right?
